The Gorilla Full Size Glue Gun is a versatile "bridge" tool that fits the gap between basic craft guns and industrial applicators. It features a dual-temperature switch, providing a low setting (~230°F) for delicate items like lace and a high setting (~380°F) for materials such as wood and metal. The "Easy Squeeze" trigger is designed with mechanical advantage in mind, reducing the force required for each pull by approximately 40%.
Specifications include a precision nozzle with an internal check-ball valve intended to limit post-squeeze oozing. The chassis is made of heat-resistant polypropylene. Included in the kit are 45 Gorilla-brand sticks, which are formulated with a high resin-to-wax ratio to maintain clarity over time without yellowing. Note that when switching between heat settings, the unit requires a few minutes to stabilize at the new temperature.
Practical Considerations
- Ergonomic trigger design helps reduce hand strain during large projects.
- Internal valve helps maintain a cleaner workspace by reducing drips.
- Full-size chassis is compatible with standard 0.44-inch diameter sticks.
If you prefer a model that comes with its own hardshell storage case for better portability, you might consider the ROMECH 100W Glue Gun Kit.
